[Intro Chorus]
Maybe I need you to cut me down
Though it hurts to have you cut me out
I’ll turn my life around

You’re speaking
Never listening
I’m screaming
You can’t hear me

So the cycle repeats
It’s killing me
What could’ve been

[Verse 1]
I remember I used to sleep
(I remember I used to sleep)
To give you what you need
I’d give you anything
(I’d give you everything)

Will I ever stand on my own two feet
Be the man you need of me
Concede the will to believe never lived in me

(Maybe I need you to cut me down
Though it hurts to have you cut me out
I’ll turn my life around)

(So this cycle repeats)

Now I understand
I meant everything to you
Everything you promised me
Everything I put you through

I’ll never breathe with you on my chest

[Chorus]
Maybe I need you to cut me down
Though it hurts to have you cut me out
I’ll turn my life around
You’re speaking
Never listening
I’m screaming
You can’t hear me
You can't hear me

[Bridge]
I’d kill to open up
I’m just scared I’ll abuse your trust
I’d kill to open up
I know you’ll hate who I’ve become

[Chorus]
Maybe I need you to cut me down
Though it hurts to have you cut me out
I’ll turn my life around

You’re speaking
Never listening
I’m screaming
You can’t hear me

So the cycle repeats
It's killing me

[Exit Chorus]
Maybe I need you to cut me down (cut me down)
Though it hurts to have you cut me out (cut me out)
Cut me out
Never listening
I’m screaming
You can’t hear me

So the cycle repeats
It's killing me
What could've been
